Hunting in Idaho with Silencer
« on: July 26, 2007, 12:10:39 PM »
Does anyone know the regulations for idaho when it comes to hunting with sound suppressors? I know that some states I think are legal for anything

We've used them on coyotes.  So, I know they're legal for that.  Not sure about big game.

As far as I know, they're legal for big game as long as it doesn't put you over the weight limit.  I think electronics (excepting illuminated sights) are about the only thing specifically banned.

I heard one the guys at Impact say he planned use one in future to avoid attracting the attention of idiots who would attempt to tag his kill.  He had a problem with that the last time he had a bull down.

you can have illuminated sights, you can have a rifle under 15lbs(including sling, scope, stock, bullets, bipod, can, duct tape, spray paint, burlap; the total package has to be under 15 lbs), you can have a semi or bolt gun, you can have a can.

You cannot hunt big game with a full auto or with night vision.
You know what I think?  It don't really matter what I think.

I wish I were.  Why go to all the trouble of shooting when you just until someone else does then get there first?  Not real bright when tmyou consider the other guy is armed for elk and knows how to aim.
